Land Rover is bringing its completely updated new range to the US, for
the 2014 model year, and that includes the all-new Range Rover Sport
as well as improved versions of the already familiar models. For
instance, the Evoque is getting its nine-speed gearbox too, and the
LR4 (Discovery in Europe) had its naturally-aspirated power plant
swapped out for a supercharged V6 unit with 340 hp.
The LR2 (aka Freelander 2) has not been left untouched either, and it
gets the same 240 hp turbocharged four-pot that is found in the
Evoque, and Jaguar XF. It also benefits from revised styling, improved
levels of technology and will retail for $37,495 to $42,595.
The larger LR4 gets a more responsive touchscreen for the infotainment
system, a new single speed transfer case as standard the all-wheel
drive (a two-speed transfer case is still optionally available) to
name but a few new features. In addition, now there s Intelligent
Start-Stop available too, along with a blind spot warning system and a
standard reversing camera. US vehicles will get the same styling
tweaks and new rim designs as the Euro ones, to justify the model-year
transition. It is now priced from $50,595 to $60,795.
The Evoque, aside from the new gearbox gets minimal changes, and can
be had for $41,995 to $57,195 in five-door form, or $45,040 to $58,185
as a more rakish coupe.
The all-new Range Rover Sport really made its mark in the US this
year, when it was associated with the grueling Pikes Peak hillclimb
some of the first shots we got were of it racing up the famed mountain
road. It starts from a not totally unreasonable $63,495 for a base V6,
and gets noticeably more expensive if you want the fully-specified
Autobiography model, powered by the thirsty Jaguar-sourced V8 -
$93,295.
The big Range Rover is still the price king, though, and again, with
minimal changes and improvements over the previous model-year, it now
starts at $83,545 and its price rises well past the hundred-grand mark
to $135,995 for the fully-laden model. In addition, here too the
non-supercharged V8 has been swapped for the blown the same blown V6
as the LR4.
